Why do wraps tear & filling leak sometimes?
- When you overfill the wraps with filling, these issues may arise. To address these issues, keep a normal amount of filling in each wrap so that the wrap will not tear & easy to handle.
Is that practically possible that kids can have these wraps in their lunch boxes?
- Yes, if you keep the filling & wraps separate & assemble them just before eating, then it will be the best, healthiest, & delicious option for kids’ lunch boxes.
Which of the wraps is better to use?
